    Grateful to work for a boss who stands up for our work. The Bail Project received taxpayer money, there are people who are accused of murder connected to this org and for those reasons, we dug deeper into the organization. And, we'll continue to ask questions - as will the Star.

    This Indy Star story prominently references the reporting has done on The Bail Project. As we were not invited to comment in the story, I'll add my thoughts here in a thread. Bottom line: I'm extremely proud of the investigative work has done. 1/X

    I can’t get over how much life can change in an instant. This mother welcomed a new baby as another was taken. A life and a death so close together.💔

    According to family members, 6-year-old Sevion Sanford became a big brother this week. His mom, seen in the photo with Sanford, gave birth to a baby boy. Tragically, Sanford was killed waiting on a bus near his school. His mother came from the hospital to the scene of the death.
